The Opportunity
Are you a senior relationship management professional with experience of managing and leading successful teams to deliver innovative and engaging experiences for a wide range of stakeholders?
The University of Leeds has one of the largest alumni constituencies in the UK, with a global community of more than 340,000 alumni in 190 countries. Alumni play a pivotal role in the life of the University and its mission to make a positive global impact, as stakeholders, advocates, ambassadors, supporters and lifelong learning participants.
Alumni of Leeds University Business School are an important part of this community, with a strong affinity to both the University and the Business School. Developing lifelong, mutually-beneficial relationships with its graduates is critical for a world-class Business School and we aim to maximise their experience, knowledge and diversity to enhance our school’s reputation, student experience, research agenda and add value to the experience of alumni themselves as members of a lifelong community.
This new role will enhance the strategic impact of our alumni to both the Business School and the University more widely through creative and collaborative working, and evaluating, and prioritising activity to best effect. Working in a matrix-management environment, you will be based in the Business School, reporting in to the Director of External Engagement (Partnerships and Executive Education) and will also be part of the University’s Advancement Team with professional accountability to the Head of Alumni and Supporter Engagement.
The post holder will therefore work in close partnership both with staff in the Business School (in particular External Engagement, key undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, Executive Education and the marketing and communications team) as well as with Advancement colleagues. You will be responsible for leading and managing the Business School’s alumni relations team, translating the School and University strategies into meaningful action, across two key areas of focus:
- Building our alumni community through a programme of engagement, events and communications that enhance our community engagement, identifying opportunities to maximise the impact within the context of Advancement and Business School strategies.
- Increasing the strategic impact of alumni engagement on research and student experience objectives, particularly through volunteering and advocacy.
Working with the team, you will play a critical role in adding strategic value to the Business School from alumni engagement, and developing how Business School engagement, content and activity can benefit the student and alumni community more widely. You will also be delivering against the strategic needs of the wider University, as we enhance our engagement of alumni and supporters (donors and volunteers). You will therefore have a proven approach to collaborative working and developing successful partnerships across organisations.
Person Specification
You will have significant experience of managing relationships and influencing senior stakeholders, both internally and externally, to deliver value-adding projects and initiatives. You will have experience of developing strategies, and translating these into activity, maximising events, communications and face-to-face relationship building activity to achieve strategic aims. You will be an experienced leader, able to manage and inspire a motivated, high performing, purpose-driven team with a culture of collaboration and a creative approach to opportunities and problem-solving.

The Role
We have an ambitious membership growth target of 20%. In order to achieve this we need to be setting up new groups across the UK at scale. We have recently changed our marketing approach and are able to generate high volumes of high-quality enquiries. But we have lots of areas without groups or with groups who are full and not able to accept new members. We therefore need someone to take charge of setting up new groups at scale, ensuring the process for doing so is robust and streamlined.
Reporting to the Chief Executive, you will manage the end-to-end new group set up process:
- Identify geographical location for new group – based on no existing groups in area, local groups being full and/or volunteer availability
- Source local volunteers and work with them to get new groups up and running
- Help them to identify suitable venue and time for first meeting and free and low cost opportunities to promote new groups in local area
- Work with Social Media Assistants to execute local level organic digital outreach via community Facebook groups and websites
- Outreach to local social prescribers to encourage them to signpost to NWR
- Source volunteers to distribute printed marketing assets within local community
- Chair first meetings or (depending on location) recruit member volunteer(s) to do so
-
Call referred enquirers to explain more about new group – try to convert them to attending first free meeting
- Agree details for first meeting and brief press release to CEO
- Manage the enquiry process for new groups or support volunteer in doing so
- Keep record of enquirers, meeting attendees and memberships of new groups and provide updates at weekly meeting and for Dashboard and HOD reports.
- As we are a small organisation, you may also be required to undertake work outside of this remit to support the HOD and Membership team in the smooth running of the organisation.
Person specification
- Motivated by hitting targets and creating lots of new groups to connect socially isolated women
- Proficient in MS Office (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Teams) and Google applications
- Enthusiastic and resourceful – keen to learn new systems and work to problem solve when necessary.
- Experienced social media user
- Experience in volunteer recruitment and management is highly desirable
- Proactive, driven - able to work autonomously
- Outgoing, confident, happy to chat to enquirers and volunteers
- Warm, friendly, approachable, helpful
- Methodical and organised – able to work at pace whilst keeping efficient records of progress
- Appreciative of need to work at scale and streamline processes to maximise output
Our mission is to combat social isolation by connecting women across the UK
